http://hackafore.blogspot.com/2013/08/hieros-x-hackafore.html
Monday, August 5, 2013. With one foot out the door, I've been tackling some of the projects I had put on the back burner. Finally getting to that black jacket I've been meaning to sew up! My roommate Kevin, brought back some amazing printed fabric back from his trip to Japan (like, 2 years ago! And I finally found the time and project to put it to good use! The jacket is the J719 Satoshi Special, named in honor of Kevin of course :). The lining does fray a bit, so gotta overlock that seam allowance!

hackafore: Pocket Protection
http://hackafore.blogspot.com/2013/04/pocket-protection.html
Wednesday, April 10, 2013. The coolest part of Hieros' J720 jackets are the hidden gun pockets sewn into each garment. And the coolest part of those? The quotes written on the outside of each pocket pair - culled from the World's great epic poems and more contemporary adventurers. A bibliography of works includes: the Iliad, Odyssey, Epic of Gilgamesh, Bhagavad Gita, accounts of the American West, and excerpts from English poet Siegfried Sassoon.
